Comments

Rozporządzeniem z 20 kwietnia 1487 r. Maksymilian wprowadził w Niderlandach Burgundzkich system monetarny oparty na srebrnym realu o wadze około 7 gramów. Inne nominały obejmowały złotego reala (= 24 srebrne reale), guldena (= 6 srebrnych reali), gryfona (1/4 srebrnego reala) i kaszę (1/24 reala). Do 1489 r. system powrócił do czegoś przypominającego poprzedni.

Znane są warianty pisowni zarówno awersu, jak i rewersu legendy (zwłaszcza ostatniego słowa, np. mЄ', mЄD' lub mЄDi awers i ARGЄn, ARGЄnTV rewers). Automatically translated

By an ordonnance of 20 April, 1487, Maximilian launched a short-loved coinage system in the Burgundian Netherlands based on the silver real of about 7 grams. Other denominations included the gold real (=24 silver reals), the guilder (= 6 silver reals), the griffon (1/4 silver real) and this groat (1/24 real). By 1489 the system had reverted to something resembling the previous one.

Variants in spelling of both obverse and reverse legends are known (especially the last word, e.g., mЄ', mЄD' or mЄDi obverse, and ARGЄn, ARGЄnTV reverse
